Don't want to look negative, but meanwhile all this is happening to AI Traffic (and ATC as well, amongst other bugs after SU5-SU6), MS/Asobo look more worried about fancy stuff like these new upcoming aircraft and the races thing. For them, looks like more in-depth development of the sim is not as important as selling more copies of the title.

@Kaiii3 There is one more annoyance with the AI system. When taxiïng ATC tells me to hold for other traffic while there is no other traffic nearby. I ignore this by now and then ATC tells me to continue taxiïng 🙂

 

Edit: In one occasion there was another GA who had to take the taxiway I was on. I didn't need to go on the taxiway he was on, and so he should've been instructed to hold position. Which by the way he was when I ignored it.

 

Edit2: This also causes AI to suddenly stop, start rotating and disappear after a while.

All this observed at EDDK by Aerosoft which has a very good afcad.

I have all AI turned off, what the FPS hit with it turned on at around 35%?

I spent a decent chunk of time on testing performance last week and my sweet spot is 75%, 100% was problematic for me and there was an evident performance degradation. I think you should be cruising at 35%.

To the majority of course.

The majority don't seem to care about AI based on how the threads do over on the official forums.

That's a matter of perspective. Also I doubt the people working on that would be the same people programming the AI.

If Asobo don't have the manpower to fix important Bugs/faults with the sim then they need to hire extra people who have the expertise and the spare time to implement these major sim failures.

I don't look at any FPS counter, but I have not noticed any difference in performance with around 200 airlines downloaded. 

It seems best not to look at FPS, as when I go into the showcase view, the FPS goes down into single figures yet it still really smooth and is effectively unchanged, as if the sim is measuring something that isn't anything anything to do with FPS.

But the X box folks will love the new stuff.

I use Live Traffic, then they sit still on the gates and do not move around like kamikaze pilots at low altitude around the airports.

Live Traffic won't take off no matter what you do.

With the release of AIGAIM-OCI and Aerosoft Simple Traffic there are now two big addons available for MSFS.

Both are using the internal AI system of MSFS will have some issues with it.

I have written here a small article about the current major issues (from AIGs point of view): http://www.alpha-india.net/2021/11/17/state-of-ai-traffic-in-msfs/

What you guys did here is huge knowing all the limitations that the AI system of MSFS still as, all the MSFS community needs to be thankful! You raised the quality bar delivering a product for free that imo is far superior to the one payed...and on top of that you still give support and have concerns with the happiness of your users, just awesome.

Now we need to do our part, reporting to Asobo all the AI issues we can find, if most of them get fixed we all gonna be happy with our full busy skies.

Great article btw

Thank you

Absolutely, it's their market.

Throwing more labor at the problem isn’t always the right answer.  There may be many dependencies that need to be in place first.  In other words you can’t just have everyone working on different aspects of the sim simultaneously and expect everything to come together nice and neat when all parts are finished.  More labor also equals more cost, less profit.  I doubt the value proposition is there, at least in this situation.

I know, but they still landing now and then.

It kinda makes the atc useless too (I know, it half is all ready). Constant climb commands etc… to the AI.

I use PF3 for ATC , don't have to put up with Psycho ATC commands.

I have found what AIG has released to be amazing to what we had. ASOBO needs to fix the aircraft after takeoff dropping like rocks after about 500agl, its like they engage AP and just level off or start pitching back down, wild!
